Derek and I tried to do this ride back in June but there was still too much snow on the ground. This time was a success. Our ride was 13 miles with 2118′ of climbing which is quite a bit for such a short route. Huckleberry Mountain ride starts at Thousand Springs Snowpark on Highway …
Derek and I have had this ride on our radar for a few months now and it was worth it! Hershberger Mountain Lookout is a gorgeous ride and we had a great time. We took the most direct way we could see on a map and rode this as an out and back of 21 …
Derek and I last rode this loop in 2018 and we were delighted to hit it up again. Brown Mountain Loop is underappreciated and maybe that’s because it’s pretty far from most population centers. We rode clockwise and our ride was 21.1 miles with 2,038′ of climbing. We started our ride at the Brown Mtn …
After being in dry climates the last 4 years of traveling, we totally forgot about the suckyness of poison oak. We mountain biked around Lost Creek Lake one day and while the trail is gorgeous, poison oak got us. At it’s max, the lake is 10 miles and the trail is only on one side …
Moore Mountain isn’t new to us, we rode here back in 2018 but there are new trails and it’s a really fun area to ride in so we spent a couple hours mountain biking. I think Trailforks lists something like 41 miles of trails and it’s a maze so the app is helpful. The park …
We are way behind on blog posts. Our internet here is horrible so it’s difficult to upload pictures or even write a blog post. We think the snowy part of spring might finally be over and the last few days have been warm and sunny. Last week we went to Spence Mountain in Klamath Falls …
We saw flyers for a mountain bike race to be held at the end of the month at Susanville Ranch Park and decided to go check out the trails. Susanville Ranch Park is a 1,100-acre park property owned and managed by Lassen County and the Bureau of Land Management as a shared-use recreation area. Tired …
Derek and I drove the short distance to Lake Almanor one day to ride the path that skirts one side of the lake. It’s paved but heavily covered in tree branches, needles, and pine cones from the winter. We started at the PG&E damn and rode to the end and back for 22.2 miles with …
Stopped by snow heading west the other day, this time we rode into town along the Bizz Johnson Rail Trail. Our plan was to take the South Side singletrack one way and the rail trail back. That plan was derailed (haha) when we found the bridge out crossing Susan River right by the Devil’s Corral …
We had a couple short moving days to get up here to Susanville, CA. I hate sitting for more than a few hours so we never drive very far. We boondocked one night in a defunct drive in movie theater lot which was interesting. Our new spot is long Willard Creek on the edge of …
